Spooky Halloween Cupcakes I can’t believe this is my first Halloween recipe this year! I’ve been so crazy busy with everything that I barely had time to think of Halloween. But do not worry, I finally caught up with everything, decorated my apartment and made some delicious Halloween cupcakes to celebrate October 31st. These Ghost Halloween Cupcakes are not only spooky, but they are so moist and chocolate-y that they will be the highlight of your Halloween celebrations!...

Whether you are following a Whole30 or Paleo diet or you just want a deliciously healthy breakfast recipe, these Gluten-Free Zucchini Fritters are for you. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - just how a good fritter should be. I’ve categorised these as a breakfast food but you could go right ahead and enjoy them any old time of day. You want to take them to work for lunch with a side salad?...

These healthy granola cookies are nutritiously crafted with 100% whole grains (a combo of whole wheat flour and oatmeal granola) and include plenty of peanut butter for added protein and that hubba hubba flavor. If you are a fan of these Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, I know you’ll love these peanut butter granola cookies too. Both wholesome and sweet, if you are looking for a more nutritious cookie to add to your diet, these beauties strike a true balance....

An accordion of crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside potatoes, with garlicky buttery amazingness sandwiched between each delicate wafer layer, these hasselback potatoes are a side dish your guests will remember. It’s no secret that everyone loves good ol’ Roasted Potatoes, but hasselsbacks are something special. And let me say again: HASSELBACK POTATOES TASTE SO GOOD. The cutting method creates both crispy and creamy textures that set this dish apart. You get the comfort of mashed potatoes with the crunch of a chip, all in one dish!...

This homemade keto beef jerky recipe makes a healthy and delicious snack that can be made ahead of time and taken on-the-go (no dehydrator needed!). With a blend of sweet and savory seasonings, this is the best beef jerky I’ve ever had — much better than the packaged stuff! Is Beef Jerky Keto? Traditional beef jerky is not ideal for a clean keto diet, as it is sweetened with sugar (typically brown sugar), but there are some brands without sugar added....

This easy lamb chop recipe may be basic, but for quality meats, isn’t that the best kind? These baked lamb chops make a perfect meal for entertaining, holiday meals, or even just a special dinner at home. It’s as easy as mixing up my simple lamb chop marinade, giving them a gorgeous sear, and cooking the lamb chops in the oven. You know I’m a huge fan of simple how-to guides for roasting various meats in the oven – chicken breast, chicken legs, and sirloin steak are all simple and popular....

Whether you need to know how to make shredded chicken for chicken enchiladas (like these Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas), chicken tacos, chicken sandwiches, Greek yogurt healthy chicken salad (or Whole30 chicken salad), shredded chicken enchilada dip, or just to munch straight from your refrigerator when you’re hungry and in total desperation mode, this is the post for you! While you can cook shredded chicken in the oven or slow cooker, the method I show step-by-step below (cooking the chicken in a pot on the stove) is by far the fastest and easiest way to make it....

While you can definitely cook the broth down to make Goulash more like a stew, it is traditionally served as a brothy soup. Check out my Pörkölt for the thick stew version of this dish!

Shrimp is one of the most popular seafood choices… but when you’re compiling your keto food list, where do carbs in shrimp rank compared to other proteins? Is shrimp keto? Let’s answer all your questions here, and discover some low carb shrimp recipes too! And, if you’re looking for more easy ways to stay keto, check out these printable cheat sheets. Are Shrimp Keto Friendly? Yes, all shrimp is keto shrimp!...

My classic keto pound cake recipe is one of my most popular keto dessert recipes. But this lemon poppy seed version? It’s definitely a solid rival. Instead of a loaf like the original, I made this one into a keto lemon bundt cake instead. Not only does this easy keto lemon pound cake with almond flour look impressive on a cake stand, it’s moist and delicious (much like lemon blueberry zucchini bread!...

My favorite part about cooler weather is heartwarming soups. With temperatures outside starting to cool down as we head into late fall, I am totally beyond ready for them. And keto low carb tomato soup? Sign me up! We went for a walk around the lake as a family this past weekend to enjoy what I thought might be the last warm(ish) day of the year. Needless to say for anyone that has young children, we didn’t get very far....

This keto sugar-free banana pudding recipe makes an impressive keto layer dessert! I was inspired to make it after this sugar-free dessert became so popular. The other one is chocolate, and this one is banana — complete with three irresistible layers and just 4.4g net carbs. I made the shortbread layer using my basic coconut flour cookies, but almond shortbread cookies can be used as well. What Is Banana Pudding?...

There’s something about a hot keto chicken soup recipe that feels like comfort. One bite of this low carb chicken soup will remind you to slow down, making it a perfect meal for cold winter nights. This spaghetti squash soup (one of my fave keto pasta alternatives!) has all of the traditional components of a chicken noodle soup, but it’s a keto chicken noodle soup. Like most keto soups, I adore making this low carb chicken soup recipe every winter, not only to soothe my body but to metaphorically soothe my mind as well....

It’s been awhile since I posted a snack recipe. I love a quick and easy dinner as much as the next person but snacks are really where it’s at for me. Snacks are one of my biggest hobbies. Eating them, not making them. I, of course, make them too. But the real joy comes from having a fridge full of delicious snacks I can grab whenever hunger strikes. Which, if you’re me, is pretty much always....

I am a long-time fan of Thai food (hello Shrimp Pad Thai!), an affinity that was solidified after Ben and I went to Thailand. “Curry” is a catch-all name for a genre of Thai dishes comprised of vegetables, protein, and herbs simmered in a complex sauce made from coconut milk and curry paste. Curry pastes differ in color, flavor, and intensity of spice. Green curry, like this Chickpea Curry is distinctly herbaceous and citrusy....

One of my most anticipated moments is when the “Peach Truck” arrives here in Wisconsin. Every summer, this family-owned business drives fresh peaches up from Georgia, then sells them at pop ups throughout the city. And every summer, I go crazy and overbuy them. Although, when Peach Pancakes, Peach Crisp, Baked Peaches, and Peach Shortcake are all options for the baking, can you really overbuy peaches? I think not. For this year’s haul, I couldn’t get an old-fashioned peach upside down cake out of my head!...

Ever go out for drinks and wish you could just make a homemade pina colada recipe instead? Now you can — and it’s easier than you think! Just like the frozen pina colada you can get at your favorite restaurant (or on a tropical vacation), you can make a skinny pina colada drink with simple, natural ingredients and no added sugar whatsoever. And like my skinny margaritas, you can have this classic tropical drink in your glass in minutes!...

Love all kinds of indulgent breakfasts? Make sure to also check out our Nutella French Toast and Dulce de Leche Crepes. This is how Brazilians do French Toast! Picture this: it’s December 25 and you’re in Brazil. You wake up late after staying up eating Christmas Eve supper and opening gifts. If you’re a child, you run to the Christmas tree to see what Papai Noel has brought you. If you’re an adult, well, you run to the breakfast table to see what your dad brought from the bakery!...

She originally wrote it as a guest post to cover for me while I was in France (this was a common thing in the old school blogging days!). This luscious ice cream is now one I love to make, because it is unique but also homey. It hits the spot! This recipe begins with a simple rhubarb compote. It’s just that it’s so gosh darn delicious, and if the early days of summer were to have a taste, this is it....
